Why is Endotracheal Intubation Necessary in Neonates?
Neonates, especially those born prematurely, often have underdeveloped respiratory systems and may suffer from conditions such as Respiratory Distress Syndrome (RDS), Meconium Aspiration Syndrome (MAS), or congenital diaphragmatic hernia. These conditions can lead to severe breathing difficulties, necessitating intubation for effective respiratory support.
